KANGFUPEN liquid for chronic radiation rectal injury
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a liquid dressing called KANGFUPEN that is applied inside the rectum to help heal damage caused by pelvic radiation. It is designed for people who completed radiation at least 3 months ago and still have ongoing rectal symptoms like bleeding or pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a fecal (stool) transplant can help heal rectal damage caused by pelvic radiation. The treatment may decrease bleeding and improve symptoms for people whose supportive care hasn't worked well.
This trial tests whether a Bergmann enema can help prevent radiation-related rectal injury during short-course radiotherapy for rectal cancer. It may be an option for people who are about to start pelvic radiation.
This trial tests a dietary supplement to help heal damage inside the rectum caused by pelvic radiation therapy. If you have mild to moderate rectal bleeding but no signs of cancer recurrence, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a medicated enema can help prevent radiation damage to the rectum during pelvic radiotherapy. It may be a good option if you are starting radiation to the pelvis or rectum and are otherwise in good health.
This trial tests a Chinese herbal capsule (Five-Flavor Sophora Flavescens) to see if it helps heal radiation-induced proctitis—inflammation of the rectum caused by pelvic radiation. It may be an option for people who have symptoms like bleeding or pain and want a non-steroid treatment.
This trial tests whether a steroid enema (dexamethasone) can help prevent or reduce bowel damage caused by radiation therapy for rectal cancer. If you're starting or recently started radiation for rectal cancer, this may help protect your bowel health.
